Question

Read the sentence.

The lamp fell over and landed on the sleeping cat.

Which best identifies the sentence type?



simple

compound

complex

fused

Answer 1

I believe it is a "Fused" sentence because it includes two main clauses. hope this helps

Answer 2

The lamp fell over and landed on the sleeping cat.

subject + predicate (with two verbs)

The example is a simple sentence with compound verbs.

• A simple sentence is formed by a subject and a predicate.
• A simple sentence is an independent clause since it can stand on its own (it is not subordinated to a main clause as this happens with complex sentences).
• Simple sentences contain one main idea (when the sentence contains two or more main ideas, they are compound sentences).
